When buttery smooth threads bite back.

[Mike, Lord of the Spammers!]

Yesterday when I got home from the tattoo shop, I did my usual dumping of the key's and stuff, when I noticed that I was carrying a spare eneloop

Upon further investigation I discovered that the head on my Quark Mini AA had decided to make a bid for freedom again

Alas I've lost faith in using it as a keyring torch, and have gone back to using my bulletproof E01 instead, which is a shame as I bloody love the Quark, and have now got to find a new method of carry for it

Plumber tape to the rescue! 

Wrap some on the thread and it won't fall off again, thou it'll make it a bit harder to twist too.

Quark MiNi + Dangler clip = happiness.

Try a new o-ring mate

You can say that again. Been my set up for a while now.  My other lights don't even get a look in.

Plumbers tape or different O-ring will sort that out no prob.

[NutSAK]

Yeah, I would try a new o-ring first.  Usually 4Sevens ships an extra with the light.  If you have the extra, put it on there and don't lube it.

Getting it off your keys an onto a dangler may not be as convenient, but it shouldn't have nearly as much opportunity to unscrew since it won't be handled as much.

Thanks guys

I'll swap the O ring over later

 Kinda late in the game here but black fingernail polish works like Loc Tight. A buddy of mine uses it for the small screws on the bottom of lap tops.

That's a PITA 

I hope whichever solution you try works for you 

I prefer clickies as I'm less worried about them doing stupid stuff like that.

[Mike, Lord of the Spammers!]

Well I cleaned most of the lube of, and swapped the O rings over, and all seems to be fine now

I haven't used it for keyring carry for a while though, as I've been really enjoying carrying my E01 instead

IMO, you have a lot more to worry about going wrong with clickies than twisties.
